Muslim Aid builds partnership to increase humanitarian efforts in Myanmar

 

 

From Muslim Aid office in London.

 

A Muslim Aid team from HQ in London recently visited Myanmar (Burma), where they met Government Officials, as well as UN agencies and other NGO representatives to asses the needs on the ground and develop a plan for relief and recovery interventions. The team visited 3 camps- Thea Chaung village, Dar Pai village and Kuang Doke Khar in the Rakhine state.

The wave of violence amongst the community and the increasing number of IDPs, placed immense amount of pressure on the IDP camps where food, water, shelter and health service are already in short supply. Muslim Aid is collaborating efforts with the Government of Myanmar and UN Agencies to provide much needed support to the community at large including the IDP camps.

Muslim Aid team reported that the refugee camps are in urgent need of humanitarian help. Many have lost their homes and are without shelter. There are more then 75,000 IDPs. Some of those who have shelter do not have adequate water and sanitation facilities. Within the conflict area some schools have been destroyed, depriving children of education.

Rohingya Appeal 2012

 

As the humanitarian situation worsens in Myanmar, tens of thousands of minority Rohingyas are having to seek shelter in makeshift camps. In last month’s violence hundreds have died and become disabled. Many have been displaced from their homes and are unable to receive assistance. The areas hardest hit by the violence are Maungdaw and Sittwe, where it is still difficult to give an accurate estimate of total number of people affected.

Muslim Aid is working inside Myanmar through partners whose emergency responses cover those affected by the violence. In Buthi Dong, there are many Rohingyas who are sick and have minimal access to treatment. In Maungdaw, many Rohingyas are residing in poorly constructed camps.

Through its partner Muslim Aid has been helping the affected communities by providing food items, sanitary items and clothes to around 540 households.
